Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 1008 Press Conference (4k)

Xiong Xiaoge has been abroad for a long time this trip.

In addition to chatting with IDG America about work and plans, he also wanted to observe Yike's movements and possible changes up close.

In the end, the movement was really too big!

Good guy, this long-planned run has really squeezed out Mr. Fang's black heart to the fullest!

Xiong Xiaoge originally guessed that there was some interest chain pulling, but he didn't expect that it was mainly a display of financial methods. Of course, the smooth opening of Yike's stock is indeed very paradoxical.

This kind of operation directly killed the short-selling institutions, seven in and seven out, and people turned their backs.

Xiong Xiaoge was in New York for the past two days, and saw that some media took pleasure in counting the losses and bankruptcy of agencies, which was simply horrible.

Of course, it is really fun.

As for Mr. Fang... He confirmed that besides many hedge funds being tricked by Yike this time, there are also some well-known institutions that are also silently bearing losses, and IDG America is suspected to be among them.

IDG's business in the United States is not mainly investment and finance. Its subsidiaries include Ventures investment, Communications media and IDC data business.

Among them, IDC is the world's leading market intelligence and consulting services company.

As a former shareholder of Yike, IDG America's actions and losses this time are kept secret.

But Xiong Xiaoge knew what was going on.

Sometimes, he really sighed, people, it is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn good.

During the call, Xiong Xiaoge briefly talked about the tragedy he saw in New York, and then briefly mentioned one obvious thing: "IDC is a very good consulting company, and it is also very high-quality, and the media and marketing business of IDG Communications is also the same. in this way."

"These two pieces are very good for Fanyike."

Premium is often an adjective for assets.

Xiong Xiaoge listed two of IDG's three major businesses.

"Okay." Fang Zhuo guessed what the old bear meant before he called. Although he had been the richest man in the world for three days, his mentality had not changed.

IDC is indeed high-quality, and it was the one that listed Ice Core as the top ten wafer foundries in the world last time.

The media and marketing business can be integrated into Yike. The current Yike is more hardware-oriented, and the overseas Android ecosystem is controlled by Google, which is difficult to change.

It is difficult for a company that uses hardware to tell a story to continue to be favored by the secondary market.

Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mr. Fang's brief response.

It is impossible for him to acquire the IDG Group in reverse. He has to find the funder and then take what he needs. What he wants is the IDG investment brand, which is another breakthrough in his career.

As for IDG America's shorting of Yike, there is no need to elaborate or even talk about it with Mr. Fang.

Is there any demagogy or manipulation of the market?

Not at all, neither phone calls nor face-to-face communication, and what I have to say is free testimony.

Xiong Xiaoge was in New York, watching Shenxin Kechuang and Xiangjiang Huanyu who played a huge role in Yike's battle this time, and believed that they were the same as him.

This time Mr. Fang gorged on meat, and he took advantage of his momentum to sip soup.

"Mr. Fang, when I return to China, let's see what the rules are."

Xiong Xiaoge knows that Fang always likes a win-win situation, and thinks it should be a win-win situation.

"No problem, old bear, I should be in China in the near future." Fang Zhuo smiled.

Xiong Xiaoge knew that it was out of safety considerations, and finally said: "I will watch Yike's new machine conference in New York later, and hope that Yike's Mars and Selfy will sell well this year."

Fang Zhuo accepted the blessing from the old bear.

This new machine launch...

Although he agreed to Mr. Yu, he thought there was nothing wrong with it, but when it came to him, it might be that he had indulged too much in the short squeeze recently, so he didn't have much to say.

But the online live broadcast is good, you can interact with users who are concerned about Yike's new products.

Fang Zhuo was sitting in the R&D conference room playing with the two new products in his hand.

The third-generation Mars and the first-generation Selfy.

From Mars1 to Mars3, there are not many breakthroughs in products.

One is to make up for the hardware shortcomings and make it more and more a veritable flagship level. Like Nokia, which was in the same period as Mars1, its N95 has a 500-megapixel rear camera, while Mars1 only has 200 million.

This point has been strengthened on Mars2, and it has also been increased to 500 million pixels.

But the overall cost of Mars2 is lower than that of Mars1.

The second is to improve the system ecology, so that the user experience and software construction are on the right track as better as possible.

This is an overall competition that requires the participation of multiple parties, and it has achieved results and pushed Saipan into a hurry.

Mars3 is still a product of this idea, and Selfy, as the name suggests, focuses on taking pictures. For this reason, it uses a camera with a front 500+ and a rear 800 million pixels, and has a built-in camera filter that has been polished for a long time. extreme.

Whether consumers like it or not remains to be seen.

Fang Zhuo quite likes Selfy, and feels that he has the aura of the world's richest man in such a front camera.

Oh, the temperament of the former richest man in the world.

Materials and manuscripts are on the table.

The staff adjusted the equipment and live broadcast settings.

YouTube is very happy with Yike's adoption of the full online live broadcast this time, and is urgently preparing to make sure that the live broadcast room will not be overwhelmed by too many people.

After such a global hot event, the launch of the new machine conference, they felt that Yi Ke and Mr. Fang were really good at picking their time.

Facing the materials and parameters, Fang Zhuo briefly reviewed the possible problems he might encounter, and then returned to the president's office to greet the two important shareholders of the company.

The atmosphere in the president's office seemed to be quite harmonious. Obviously, Mr. Liang was able to complete his self-discovery.

Fang Zhuo felt okay about Xiangjiang Huanyu, and felt that Mr. Liang was indeed a discerning investor, and after this battle, he would definitely grow.

Time flies, and more and more @fangzhuo people appear on Twitter because of the arrival of the morning in the United States and the approaching time of the press conference. Everyone can't wait to see the responses from the parties involved.

The parties involved in this wave of Yike’s short squeeze, except for Paulson who was blocked twice before and after with a simple voice, other institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Manman are very official, and they can’t see the excitement they want at all. The SEC , Nasdaq not to mention, it is purely a scene.

Mr. Fang, who is known for his style, has become a breakthrough point that makes people scratch their heads.

"Brother Wang, Mr. Liang, are you going to the R&D room or here?" Fang Zhuo is going to release Yike's new machine this year.

Wang Fengyi said directly: "I'm in the president's office, so as not to disturb your work."

Liang Qihua also said the same, but he was more to ensure that he would not be impulsive.

Fang Zhuo changed the tea for the two shareholders with his own hands, then picked up the documents and walked into the live broadcast of Yike's 2009 new machine launch conference.

The research and development conference room has been remodeled and commissioned.

The camera, fill light, projection and distance angles are all confirmed repeatedly.

With 10 minutes before [-]:[-] p.m., Fang Zhuo tentatively started the YouTube live broadcast, and saw the skyrocketing comments in the live broadcast room almost instantly.

He glanced at it casually, and said to the domestic audience who may also pay attention to this live broadcast: "In two days in China, there will be a press conference hosted by Liu Qiangdong, President of Yike Huaxia. It is for overseas, I mainly speak English, and the official website has debugged a real-time subtitle, but it may not be easy to use.”

After saying this, Mr. Fang continued to brew a serious mood for the press conference.

The promotion of Yike's two new models is a serious matter, and this cannot be messed up.

10 minute is fleeting.

YouTube is already full of comments and questions, showing that the number of viewers has exceeded one million.

Although the popularity of the Yike conference had been expected, YouTube urgently limited the flow, and then launched a new live channel to divert the flow, so as to avoid fluency problems.

"Welcome everyone to attend Yike's 2009 new machine conference."

"I'm Fang Zhuo, the president of Yike."

Fang Zhuo started with a smile on his face.

Then, he saw his smiling face stuck on the screen in the live broadcast room.

No, YouTube’s live broadcast function has been tried for a year and it’s still not doing well. More resources should be invested in this business. Well, if the comments are turned into bullet screens, I wonder if it can stimulate new conversions.

Fang Zhuo thought about it, took a sip of tea, and frowned, like the tea leaves in the research and development room.

After being stuck for 5 minutes, the live broadcast room returned to normal.

"Eco's full use of online release this time is a brand new attempt. We hope to bring the news of new models to everyone more comprehensively and quickly through the Internet." Fang Zhuo talked eloquently, "I don't know the effect of this How about it, but just like Yike's attempt in the field of smart phones, we are willing to try something new."

In the first few minutes of the game, Fang Zhuo only said three sentences.

Because it was live online, he couldn't help but glance at the comments.

Looking at it this way, Fang Zhuo immediately laughed.

——Mr. Fang, stop pretending, kill a few short sellers and heat up the heat.

Fang Zhuo laughed out loud in front of the camera.

The comments on the online press conference were soon all "hahahaha", "mdr", "KKKKK", "WWWW", "ah ah ah", "hahahaha"... It seems to be the expression of laughter from different parts of the world.

Fang Zhuo can recognize several kinds, like kkkk seems to be from Korea, mdr is probably from France, this is why many countries around the world are paying attention to this press conference.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

Fang Zhuo tried his best to control his emotions, and said seriously: "I usually don't like to laugh very much, because as we all know, I am really in a good mood recently. I'm sorry, let's start again."

He paused for five seconds, saw that the real-time comments had turned into various questions about the short squeeze, thought for a while, and said: "Well, I know what you want to see, in order to ensure the progress and popularity of our press conference, I'll chat about the new phone for a while and randomly answer a few questions I see, okay?"

Naturally, there was unanimous agreement in the comments, Mr. Fang didn't hide anything, he said it very straightforwardly.

"This product in my hand is a new product released this year. We named it Selfy. It has excellent camera capabilities and can meet everyone's increasing demand for images."

"The front camera is 500 million pixels, and the rear camera is 800 million pixels. This is the world's top hardware performance."

"In order to achieve the best camera function, we have carried out a special optimization of CMOS with Sony, and I will release a few real photos for everyone to see."

Fang Zhuo gave a comment: "This Selfy is the most powerful camera phone in the world today."

The strongest in the world!
Plus limited, camera phone!
Since the first generation of Mars launched the front-facing camera function, Yike has been brewing the product positioning of Selfy internally. This time, it has been polished for a long time. Selfy was launched only after integrating Sony Ericsson camera + Sony CMOS hardware + pixel parameters + targeted optimization of the system.

Whether it is Yu Hong from Yike America or Pan Ben from Yike Europe, they have high expectations for Selfy, because both markets have corresponding software requirements. Relatively speaking, the Chinese market is worse, and the 3G ecosystem still needs Continue to improve.

The projection behind Fang Zhuo released more detailed product parameters.

After such an explanation, Fang Zhuo did not announce the price, and planned to talk about it at the end.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, moistened his throat, then turned his head and said, "Xiao Liu, replace me with the tea I usually drink."

Secretary Liu Zonghong got up immediately to get Mr. Fang's ration tea.

Fang Zhuo looked at the YouTube comments and saw a question.

——Mr. Fang, you choose to live broadcast online, but you can’t choose New York. Are you worried that those institutions will be unfavorable to you?

Fang Zhuo read out the comment, and replied cheerfully: "How could it be? Hedge funds are actually quite polite and well-behaved, just like this time when they came to my place..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the R&D conference room was suddenly shut with a "bang".

Mount, the co-founder of DR Fund, who had previously fought with Goldman Sachs Philip and successfully used an ashtray to imprint him, rushed in.

An anxious and anxious voice came from outside, and the fingerprint lock kept beeping, but it was not opened.

Fang Zhuo got up from his seat, quietly retreated behind the bench, ready to pick up the bench in front of him at any time.

Since Yike announced the settlement option, the short sellers who came to Yike before have returned to China in despair, but there are still a few stranded in the Yike lounge.

Their stay was meaningless, and they didn't disturb the company's operations, so they were tacitly allowed to temporarily calm down at Hang Lung 23.

Mount is one of the walking dead.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly rushed in at the right time today.

Fang Zhuo was ready to try his hand, but after Mount rushed in, he didn't jump on the person, but ran directly to the camera, and immediately complained loudly when he saw himself appearing in the live broadcast.

"Goldman Sachs bastard!"

"Goldman Sachs swallowed $8000M in put fees for our DR fund!"

"Goldman Sachs broke the law!"

"Goldman Sachs violated the rules and laws in the process of shorting Yike. I have comprehensive evidence in my hand. I am in Shanghai! I want to announce them all here!"

Mount couldn't forget Goldman Sachs, and his voice was crying.

The fingerprint lock of the R&D room was finally opened.

Secretary Liu Zonghong and the security assistants urgently dragged Mount away from the scene.

Fang Zhuo returned to the camera and remained silent for a long time.

He saw a new level of commentary enthusiasm.

Fang Zhuo pondered for a long time, this matter... how should I put it, it is really an emergency, Goldman Sachs, please believe me.

"Fortresses are always breached from the inside, and I didn't expect this bear to rush into the press conference."

"This, this, um..."

Rao Fang Zhuo has always been eloquent, and he didn't organize his words for a while. Even the bankrupt Mount didn't rush to him at the first time. How can he smooth things over for Goldman Sachs.
